The bottom line is that there are literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of members on DA. It's IMPOSSIBLE to ever find a consensus that all of us can support. What chafes me is when clear violations of the rules get reported but weeks later they are still up.

the sad thing is that its still within the rules.......i really think that anything with a mature content tag should need approval of some sort.....its just getting crazy with what they have on here for some of them

i agree with you. i try to do artistic nude, not porn (check my gallery and if you see any porn i will swiftly delete it). and since here are women who try to get this kind of attention we who do artistic nude must also suffer. i get nasty notes, i get nasty comments. maybe men think every kind of nudity is porn, i do not know but i know if there are less women doing this CRAP there would be less men commenting BULLSHIT!! and so funny when you ask someone how is this art they get so defensive and offensive. offense is the best attack, they do not provide with an argument but souly insult.

Y'know... I'm a 23-year-old male... I like seeing naked women. Looking at naked women is awesome. Hell, I'll also admit that I like pornography. But I can totally see the line between artistic nudity and people just posting tasteless pictures just to get attention.

I can see how people get all up in arms about the softcore porn pictures through the eyes of serious photographers and models who put a lot of time and effort into their work. And in that respect, yeah, this site isn't the place for the amateur softcore pornstars. There is no artistic value in porn. It's all for entertainment, at best. But really, I'm mostly indifferent, mainly because I can differentiate between true artistic nudity and softcore porn, and I don't really see a point in attacking the pornstars unless the art to non-art ratio gets too out of hand.

I like seeing naked women too! And I like porn, but there is a time and place for everything.I just don't like seeing it on deviantart. I take my own artistic nudes, but they are classy atleast. Or so I think..

It's not art, it's porn.Many people on this site love it, perhaps even the staff secretly like it.I don't think it's appropriate, and all in all I think it should be removed to a site where it belongs.

Such horrible people should get banned! Fucking sick of this shit I saw the other DA member a 65 years old lady who is taking a close-up photos of her boobs and other things I will not go into the details! But this is bad because in DA there are really lots of young people who can actually view this crap!

These aren't being deleted because they show no penetration or physical erections. You should read the FAQ on nude art. They are firm but fair. Images like the one above though are just attention whoring for fav's and comments not artistic at all!
